Oh man, really?

I haven't watched it since I'm still mad at the result, and was at the ground so must've looked different to what the reality was.

Same here,I'm sure Stacey would of found a way to slow them up after watching them against Aussie the week before.
When they finally absorbed it.
Time was against us.

Man, Val Holmes was going to play for the Cook Islands this year.
Shame he is injured.
Hopefully they can still put a good side together, he would’ve helped attracting some of their better players.

Could start NAS on an edge?

There's no clear LE FWD choice. Verdicts out on Papa, don't think he's played well since the Eels. Naeme's played SR at the cows. Or could we put Kris there with McLean and Mulitalo outside him? Whoever they pick will be marking Katoa and Nanai

I wonder how hard, if at all, NZ selectors chased Shawn Blore before his debut for Samoa last year? He played for Junior Kangaroos against his brother playing in Junior Kiwis but imagine he'd be eligible through parents/grandparents too.
Anyone know what's happen to that brother, Dean? Still only 26 but no NSW Cup since 2023

Tricky selection in that position, I'd probably go with Papa again based on his recent Penrith form.

Like that idea of Kris on that edge.
Ball playing backrower would add a good mix to the team.
Still early days on McLean as a center but he hasn't dropped his standard since his blinder against Critter.
That would be a fast powerful edge if they can gel.
Like your thought brother.

Apparently, Tino is going to commit to Australia. According to NRL360.
Hope not.

Don’t really see him making the team anyway

Koloamatangi considering playing for the Kangaroos.
That hurts Tonga if he does.
Let’s see the uproar if he decides too, see how consistent all the people are calling out Haas.
